The manager took to Twitter to confirm the winger’s injury would not play against the minnows, but stressed that it was only a precaution and not a serious problem.
.@hazardeden10 zal uit voorzorg vanavond niet spelen tegen Andorra vanwege zijn teenkneuzing. Proberen volledig fit te krijgen voor #bosbel.

Par précaution, @hazardeden10 ne jouera pas contre Andorre en raison d'une contusion à l’orteil. Essayer qu’il soit à 100% pour #bosbel

Wilmots revealed this week that Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany and Jan Vertonghen of Spurs will start in their first competitive match for their country since the World Cup.
Kompany said: “For a defender, it is easier to play against Brazil than this match. But there is work to be done.
“We can’t give them any chances or give the ball away to their strikers.
“We will have to pick the lock to their defence without getting caught. It will not be an easy match.”
